I refreshed the patch so it works again on current HEAD. Basically some
trivial fixes and dfd26f9c5f371437f243249025863ea9911aacaa. The latter doesn't
seem necessary to me after the changes, so I simply ditched it. Am I missing
something?
I noticed no new things I dislike about the patch besides what I voiced last
time round:

It would be great if somebody could take a look.
